MazingerZ:
OK, it seems to work on my Ipod Video, but I have my concerns...
I never use rockbox to charge my battery. I have a higher level of confidence using the OF for this task. Now, how good is the battery charging algorithm in RB? Last thing I want is for my Ipod to be a guinea pig of some sort while the charging algorithm is being perfected. Has it been perfected????
Also, I find it very convenient for RB to resume playback automatically on boot up. If this feature can be implemented for the USB function, that would be great. In other words, the moment that the USB cable is pulled out, RB should know and automatically perform a task (which the user can specify) such as resume playback.
Thanks
George

Charging is a separate matter from the recent USB stack commit. Charging should already work in the iPods as far as I know.

On 5G and 5.5G (Video) iPods, charging is controlled by the LTC4066 chip. The charging part of that chip doesn't need to be configured by software. Charging from FireWire works perfectly. If the iPod doesn't charge from USB, that is due to the USB power section of that chip.
That's a good point regarding other iPods however. Has it been confirmed that charging is hardware controlled on those? The 1G Nano has an LTC4066 and the 1G Mini has an LTC4055. Those are probably used for charging, but it would be good to confirm. What about 2G Mini and 4G/Colour/Photo iPods?

yeah, i run rockbox on sansa c250 and charging always worked. but now the question is how do you charge your player (say, sansa c250) without putting it into the stack mode?
also, i don't know if it's off topic, but as long as it was already mentioned, is there anyone here who's using >2gb microSD cards on sansa c250 with rockbox ? they say the early c250-s are compatible with rockbox and incompatible with >2gb. mine is one of the first ones sold in toronto, i really don't want to waste money, someone, please let me know if 4Gb & 8Gb SDs work with the current build?

Yes, I'm using an 8GB SDHC.
